Callicrate Cattle Co.

Callicrate Cattle Co. provides cattle, sheep, goat, and pig processing services in St. Francis, Kansas, serving the broader Cheyenne County region near Goodland. The operation handles both slaughter and processing, giving area ranchers and small-scale farmers a local option for turning livestock into finished meat products.

Working with multiple species means the facility supports a range of producers, from cattle operations to smaller sheep, goat, and pig herds common throughout this part of northwest Kansas. This flexibility can matter for family farms and diversified operations that don't want to coordinate with separate processors for each type of animal they raise.

For producers in the surrounding plains communities, having a processor that covers the full range of common livestock species simplifies planning around harvest timing and delivery logistics. Local processing options like this one play a practical role in the regional food supply chain, connecting area farms and ranches to consumers and markets without requiring long-distance hauling of live animals.
